THE PROBLEM
There have been around 80,000 new chemicals that have been registered with the EPA, of which less than 20% have been tested for toxicity (EPA, 2008)
These chemicals are increasing the amount to hazardous waste the avg. family produces (EPA, 2008)
We are using these products around our families that are know to cause diseases
EPA has conducted studies showing elevated levels of chemicals in the air of our homes!
WHAT’S UNDER YOUR SINK?
•Chlorine Bleach is the chemical most frequently involved in household poisonings in the U.S.
•Degreasers may contain petroleum distillates, which can damage lung tissues and dissolve fatty tissue around nerve cells
•Glass Cleaners may contain ammonia. Ammonia fumes can irritate the skin, eyes and respiratory system •Oven Cleaners can be one of the most dangerous cleaning products, which can cause severe damage to eyes, skin, mouth, and throat
•Toilet Bowl Cleaners can be extremely dangerous cleaning products, which can be harmful just by breathing the fumes—and fatal if swallowed
SODIUM HYDROXIDE
